[edit] National Secular Society/Council of Christians and Jews

A member of the National Secular Society, and a treasurer of the Council of Christians and Jews.

Please, how can one be both an athiest, and part of a religous council that seeks to determine how an individual should read, view, and define scripture in their life? Should one read the holy inspired books of Moses, Isaiah and John that unveil Gods full dimensions, a path of knowledge, comfort and salvation. Or, should one email the National Secular Society first, and ask which particular portions of Gods word to ommit such as not to give offence to their fragile sensibilities.

Easy. The Council of Christians and Jews is not a "religous council". It's about combatting anti-semitism. Flapdragon 13:08, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
A somewhat belated addition, but anyway: membership of the National Secular Society most definitely does not require one to be atheist or even agnostic. The aim of the NSS is not to annihilate religion but to remove it from politics. WombatDeath (talk) 23:58, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, I checked the link. Seems to be a lot of "religious" people involved. Archbishop of Cantebury, Cardinal of Westminster, the Queen is the patron!! If it isn't a "religious council" why is it called the "Council of Christians and Jews"?

[edit] God Save The Queen - Early Day Motion number 1319

This man is famous for his Early Day Motion. Maybe we should add this as trivia? According to wiki God_Save_the_Queen:

In April 2007 there was an Early Day Motion, number 1319, to the UK Parliament to propose that there should be a separate England anthem: "That this House ... believes that all English sporting associations should adopt an appropriate song that English sportsmen and women, and the English public, would favour when competing as England". An amendment (EDM 1319A3) was proposed by Evan Harris that the song "should have a bit more oomph than God Save the Queen and should also not involve God."
